Practitioners face several challenges during the root canal treatment of teeth with wide or immature apices, one of which is working length determination. There is relatively little data regarding the value of radiography and electronic apex locator (EAL) use when root formation is incomplete, and supplementary measurement techniques may be helpful. This review considers length determination fo...

We describe a modification to the most common method of preparing sperm whale teeth for age determination. The first mandibular or nearest straightest tooth was sectioned in half with slow-rotating band saw, polished and, rather than subjecting 10% formic acid 30 hours, etched 15% acid. exposure time each varied depending on size, and especially, density tooth. Clear, well defined growth layer ...

BACKGROUND Due to the scarcity of exfoliated/extracted human primary teeth with complete roots, artificial teeth were developed as an alternative to be used for educational and laboratory research purposes. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of using artificial primary teeth for conducting laboratory research through an experiment related to canal length determination, comparing artific...

Estimating the age at death in the adult skeleton is problematic owing to the biological variability in age indictors and the differential skeletal response to environmental factors over an individual’s life. Determination of age and sex play a pivotal role in identification of unknown skeletal remains. Age estimation from the recovered bones has been studied and analyzed by many workers. In th...

The study of teeth reveals a lot concerning forensic medicine. Particularly it is useful in human identification. In addition to determination of age, sex can also be determined from teeth. The genetic difference between males and females is defined by the presence or absence of the Y-chromosome. The majority of the DNA of the sex chromosomes is specific to either the X or Y form. There are reg...

Abrasion of dental crown and the shape of denture occlusal surface are significant indicators in age determination of domestic mammals. The factors that significantly influence age determination of Eneolithic deer game in conditions of an open wildlife habitat are climatic changes that influenced their survival, as well as specific features of teeth morphological structure. In this paper the ag...
